It's really simple. The Canon T3i Rebel/600D for users more interested in film; the Nikon D5100 for people more into photography. If you want both, Canon T3i/600D all the way.
In 20% of the things Canon is maybe better. In the rest 80% Nikon is definitely better. I did very extensive research and am super happy with the D5100 even after 2 years of use.
I swear, I took a picture of the sun and the Canon T5i said "This needs flash!"
+Lasley Media Group hahahahahaha
xD
Hayder Waleed u must be a nikon user
Because of strong back lighting?
I know that this is an older video. But I've been browsing some photography videos talking about various lenses. Kind of crazy that the D5100 is now what...12 years old? I started with the D5100 and it's what I learned in college while getting my bachelor of science in Graphic Design. I still use the camera to this day. I even took it with me to Ireland in 2018 and got some amazing once in a life time shots.
They're pretty much the same. I both love these cameras. And I believe photos depends on the photographers not on cameras. Cameras don't take pictures, photographers do. Cameras are just tools. Just go around and enjoy taking pictures. Photography is really fun :)
Look, I love nikon... but 600D obviously had superior color. Was it set to a more vibrant setting? If so, unfair review.
No, it wasn't. I made my decision to buy canon based on this. Canon seems to have a warmer color whereas nikon is cooler. Some people might like that.

+Truong Nguyen actually for the most part Nikon is known to have warmer colors and Canon is generally neutral tone. I think just in this case it was the opposite, but generally between the two Nikon has the warmer colors. I noticed it when I had a D80 and notice this with their full frame low cost DSLR's. The other exception to Canon is the 7D, it's very contrasty and not neutral
John Trollson yeah they should just leave the pictures on auto mode or on exactly the same setting
I have used Canon and Nikon for the rest of my photographer life. And I found out the differences between the two. When taking pictures, Canon capture it so dramatic. While Nikon capture it with full of emotions, full of life. When it comes to video filming, Canon is the best thing you can use. Clearer and smoother than Nikon. Experiencing Nikon's video is not so good as Canon's. Better to use a phone's video instead of Nikon. Just saying'. But all in all, I'd say that Nikon takes pictures better than Canon. But still Canon can take pictures like how Nikon do, but in a dramatic way. But Canon takes videos and films way better than Nikon.
The background music is too loud. Hardly can hear what Kai says.
I have the D7000 and the magnesium body, pro controls and general feel are so much nicer. It's a different class of camera completely.
I've never really understood it, I own the D7000 and it's pretty good. But Nikons really don't live up to the Canons when shooting video.
U didn't mention that they nikon doesn't have af in the body so you have to get a af lens if you want auto focus
***** Depends on the type on Canon camera that you have. A canon that is not a DSLR has Auto focus. DSLR's have Manual Focus unless you have a lense that is AF.
yout picture is creepy xD
great share
You can get this camera on sale now on www.photolg.com/canoneosrebelt3i for anyone looking for it with the lens kit.
Canons are great for hd
And that the Nikon doesn't have in-body metering so you have to make sure you're using lenses with meters built into them and that it doesn't have full manual control for video.
D5100 is a great camera. The Nikon D5100 brings the high quality 16.2 megapixel sensor, great low-light performance, and full HD video.

😅 3 years ago i know
Can u make a video comparing Nikon d5200 and canon 600d with a final result about which one to buy.
I own the T3i and recently I had a chance to play with the Nikon D5100. At first glance they appear very similar, As soon as I grabbed the Nikon to check the swivel screen, it was lighter. The construction of the D5100 seems flimsier, the Canon is more solid. The free availability of Magic Lantern was the reason I went with the Canon. The two together make a film camera equal to those that cost $3-4000 or more, and the 4-2-0 luma / chroma ratio is the best you can dream of at this price.
I started out with a T3i about 15 months ago, with almost no knowledge of DSLRs at all. But with a bit of advice from my dad, and about 2 hours of Kai talking about random crap, I have now progressed immensely, even to sell 3 photos (from my T3i) to shutterfly for a good amount of money. With that (and "some" extra) I bought a 7D, and i still often go back to my T3i.
the canon t3i wins
sephs Canon Colors win always. For noise there is Lightroom... Nik Define....
Photoshop, Helping the noobs since 1988
and if you try to decrease the noise your detail is lost
Ponselgraphy you are technically right. But fiddling around with ugly Nikon colors in Lightroom is not fun as well I heard in some reviews... But why so few people have Nikon ... must be the lenses... I started with Canon and a system change would be pricey
First appearance of Alamby?
"Tilts swively thingy" great technical review fella.
What Kai says to pick is what he would use. Most people misunderstand reviews and get the camera they like. A review is basically a review of the cameras [hence the title] and saying the different priorities: take this for example, the Nikon D5100 can't change the aperture in video mode, while the Canon 600D can. If you're into video, the canon 600D is probably the better choice for you.
I did what Alambi said. I went to the store and had a look at the two cameras. Before I went, I was convinced that the Canon 600D was better, but I changed my mind when I picked up the Nikon. I liked the grip better, the autofocus was more useful and I really liked the effects on the Nikon. Deffo getting a Nikon D5100.
I need help!! Should I buy a Canon 600D or a Nikon D5100 for skateboard filming??
Awesome review!
if your doing video get the t3i because it shoots 60fps in 720p and 30fps in 1080p
The nikon only shoots 25fps in both 1080 and 720
haha thats the same reason why im getting a camera :P
jack olson
yeah but nikon says 30 fps
the 5100 only shoots 25 i have it
jack olson Wrong. It also shoots 30Fps. I also have it
Such great video! Thank you. Only now i way more confused.
everyone recommend to buy the nikon D5100, but after comparing it to Canon camera i realized that i find Canon colors much more to my
taste. The colors are more strong and deep, you can see way better the light and the dark areas in the picture. Nikon colors are very bright so the picture look very flat to my opinion.
so i don't know which one to choose. any advice?
please...
600D, due the better video quality. And if video is important to you I would say you get at least a 650D, because of the auto-focus in video mode functionality.
NIKON for Photos and CANON for Videos!
+Mustapha OUCHADI
Canon for photos and Canon for videos!
haha You're right!
The news was out Nov.6.
The biggest improvement is the 24.1 effective megapixels.
It could be out in American market in early 2013.
The Nikon D5200 body weighs 505g and will be available in black, red and bronze upon its December release date. The Nikon D5200 price body only will be £719.99 / €899.00, while the D5200 price tag jumps to £819.99 / €1029.00 for the 18-55mm VR lens kit.
Kai's point in this video is that they're both good cameras. The reason why his reviews are good is that he doesn't bring statistics into the mix, he just goes by what he feels and notices which is really the only important thing. Technically I think the D5100 is superior because it uses the same sensor as the more expensive D7000. But really, it's about the person taking photos. If you're beginning photography, you probably won't appreciate features that have trivial differences.
Alamby's first appearance
That intro looked cool
i second that, nice profile photo as well, love the S13
R.S. Macs thanks. (180sx actually) Funny thing related to the video is that I took the photo with a Nikon d5100.
the 600d has better contrast compared to the d5100
I did some comprehensive research and asking around a number of people and decided on the Nikon D5100. Bought it yesterday, it's a nice camera.
To me, yes it is a good dslr camera for beginners to understand how to use dslr for their first time. I recently brought the 60d because i already know the basic on how to use ISO.shutter speed, and aperture. Plus it's my first dslr i own. So Yes i recommend you get the t3i for video/film with the TECHICOLOR cinestyle color grading to help you get that film look. Also with the cinestyle added to your T3i you can take photo's to help you get that nice color grading you want. Ask me for more Q's!
Nikon d5100 always my choice better than other camera good happy.
where is her address and phone number????
This is the worst comparison of two cameras. You didn't tell anything unique from your experience. You did not compare photos nor videos. Your conclusion was super stupid.
Unsubscribing.
Btw I have both cameras
No one gives 2 shits
correct your English bitch
Derrick M really ?
braintrain5000
Grammer, natci: hear are you're christmas'. present;
Thanks for the good info. Didn't really think about this, I have a lot to learn as a beginner. So far I'm leaning towards the D5100.
I'm getting a 600D soon and I chose it over the nikon mostly because of video mode since I do car spotting and fully adjustable audio settings and good audio quality are a must.
i have the 600D, highly recommended, put there a sigma 17-50mm F2.8, u will love it
I want canon
Canon is one better..
ı think canon is better
Ridingx Villain don't know, every camera has its pro's and cons i guess... it just need to fit yourself i guess
I like the canon 600d too ( i now have sony bridgecamera hx 300 and want to get the 600d )
I can recommend both for you, but It's up to you for the decision because it's what suites you.. :) the key factors should be:
1. Price
2. Comfort in the hands
3. Ease of use..
I have used both and I say that I really like them both, but for me I sealed the deal with a 600D because it fits my hand properly and the button placement is really nice for me, the D5100 was also a good camera, but I didn't choose it because I found the grip quite small.. but I did enjoy the experience..
To answer your question, the Canon can record at 60 fps in 720p compared to only 30 fps of the Nikon.
If you're looking for a good comparison, type Canon T3i Rebel vs Nikon D5100 into google and check out the first hit by cameralabs
Just bought the 5100 brand new for only $450. The cheapest I could find the T3i new, factory sealed was $520 (plus tax on this one, so $565). $115 difference really helped make it an easy choice :)
Probably more people would recommend a Canon. The image quality seems to be a bit better, but this may be a subjective call, as it could depend on the settings. Also Canon is known to produce a slightly warm image, if you like that, which I do. I'd try the two out in-store if you can, get a feel for the controls, then go with whichever one feels more intuitive for YOU, whichever one feels more comfortable to you. If you listen, the camera will speak.
i used to be in ur situation, but finally i figured out the best choice for me.
If you gonna shoot a lot of video, go for D5100 bc it has the flip-out screen which gonna come in handy when it comes to shoot at tricky angles
If slow motion video is VERY IMPORTANT to you then go for the d3200 because it can shoot 720p at 60fps which is ideal for slow motion video.
I chose the D3200 because i wanna get used to shooting without flippy screen and do slow mo videos(pro dslrs dont have flippy screen)
There is another thing to note about the noise handling. The EOS 600D is an entry level and the D5100 is mid range. So the results are reasonable.
I don't see the big difference I have had both and the Nikon is more crisp while the t3i is sorta the same but more washed out but the canon is more expensive as soon as I got to play around with this cam I sold the t3i so fast........
Thanks for this nicey, detailly, reviewy thingy. Ever informationy, and entertainingly.
I brought my D5100 to a party this weekend. It performs much much much better in photography than the Lumix GH1, if anyone is interested. I used the same lens, Helios 44-2, and can compare the difference.
Brilliant channel, you do sound a bit like that nice tv presenter on Top Gear, Jonathan ...
I lived in HK for 11 years love your vid's..I am about to purchase the Canon Rebel 3ti....What's new???where did you train and where did you grow up.
D5100 has the same sensor as the D7000 , the D5100 handles low light images very well for it's price tag, the fact that it does not have an inbuilt motor is not something to be put off by as you can always focus manually and it's best to do that any way or to at least learn how :)
I have the Nikon D5100 and I love it, but honestly both cameras are really good so you will be happy with either. I would make a decision depending on which high-end camera you might upgrade to and potential lenses you plan on buying.
Nikon d5100 is in my opinion a still tad bit superior to d3200
But generally, if you're thinking about shooting video, making documentary etc, pick Canon.
If video performance isn't prioritized but want to boost up the still image quality, pick Nikon
For those of you who have yet to make a decision, here it goes: the D5100 beats the 600D in lower noise at high ISO, better image quality, better battery performance, larger sensor, video autofocus, in camera HDR, more focus points, faster shooter, it's lighter, smaller, better color depth among other things.
The 600D beats the D5100 only in megapixels, higher resolution screen, built in autofocus motor and slightly larger view finder.
I record video with the d5100. it doesn't suck that bad. audio level adjustments? I use an external audio recorder, much higher quality than any dslr with a mic input. manual settings? well if you use ais, afd, or any lens with an aperture ring, you get control over the aperture. manual exposure for video? just use exposure compensation. sure manual settings for video aren't how they should be, but the camera is still just as capable. and the low light performance is better than the canon.
actually as a photographer ... the best tip that i can give to you all is when you at the camera shop try to hold both of camera .... choose the one that make you comfortable .. that the best tips i can give to you .. doesnt care about the brand ...
the brand kinda matters, cuz you'll probably be investing in glass and upgrade bodies, so think what you wanna be sticking with.
I'm not bored by the shutter speed, aperture and ISO etc. I'm going to buy the Nikon D5100 because I think it will help me learn a bit more, and also i tried them both out and prefer the grip of the Nikon like Kai.
Yes my friend has a Canon 6D and I always felt that the colours were a bit too bright. I'm still swaying between the D5100 & the 600D though.
Well, you can pick base on nikon and canon performances. Nikon has a nice rich color(warm) that can be useful for taking great photos. While canon is great for filming because you can install the techicolor cinestyle for that great film look! Nikon of course has better overall quality of photo's while Canon has better quality in film/video. So now your thinking, what do i want photo or video?
I bought both lol, used ones, first bought T3i and like it, then saw ocasion so bought that Nicon D5100 also used, now I try them both, and will decide in future which one to keep, so far I can tell that Canon's picture is more clear but not did yet much photos
what seperates real photography from fake exactly? i was in the top 104 finalists in Nikon's High school and College photography contest shooting with a T1i. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the winner was shooting Canon as well.
Obviously I'm not Kai, but I do know that the Canon can shoot in 720p at 60fps, which is good for slow motion. As far as I'm aware, the Nikon doesn't do that, but I could be wrong.
Get both, Nikon for photography, Canon for videography and film-making
Cannot recommend DR highly enough for buying, i bought my 600D last night at 21:30 UK, and this morning it's been shipped.
Liked your video and comparisons, one question what camera did you use for shooting this video?
Panasonic G1/G2/GH2/G3 the 2x crop factor making your 300mm lens 600mm and so light weiht your arm doesn't drop off is just awsome.
D5100 vs T3i: Nikon has lower noise at high ISO, 20% better image quality, more dynamic range, better color depth, 3x faster in start up, has in-camera HDR, 10% larger sensor, automatically focuses shooting video, twice as many shots per battery charge, better boost ISO, smaller, more focus points. Canon has a built-in focus motor, 10% higher resolution screen, captures more than 10% more detail in photos and 10% larger viewfinder.
They will both be great, it just depends of the use you'll make of them. The gap you're talking about favors Nikon in this case... not a lot but it still has better ISO boost and noise handling, a tad larger sensor, more color depth and dynamic range. Canon does have a little more resolution and a built-in focus motor but for the price Nikon D5100 has more bang for the buck!
Also if you're into film making the 600d is is fantastic. Make sure you get a nice prime lens and you're good to go. These SLRs have a natural shallow depth of field and if you muck about with the ISO you can get some choice low-light shots.
Usually, any one would say the Canon because of Auto+ mode, but as you get better, you will not use it any more and set yourself the aperture, shutter speed and ISO. I'd say to educate yourself right now on these things and get the Nikon instead of getting a Auto+ mmode you'd use for like 3 months. that was my opinion
The biggest decider between these two is what range of cameras and lenses you want to commit to down the road. These cameras perform VERY similarly and are inexpensive. But switching over for your next body...
That said, in this flat light Nikon's images look particularly flat. Mostly to do with Canon's aggressive in-camera lighting compensation and colour repro, I suspect.
Nikon D5100 vs Canon EOS 4000 ? See them around the same price, give or take (former a bit more). Entry level hobbyist asking. Thanks
If you want a camera for video, get the Sony a57. It shoots 1080/60p. It also auto focuses way faster.
To people who are saying, "The D5100 looks worse than the T3i" it's because the D5100 standard lense doesnt let as much light in as the T3i
Well, this proves the general key differences indeed- Canon as a jack of all trades with video lean, Nikon the master of stills and night photography. I personally went with 5100 since video didn't concern me nearly as much as better still quality.
Probably the 5100. But I just looked up their price and it is like $850 (US)! As for the Canon, it is only $650 (US).
(Okay I just looked at B&H's prices and... Canon's original price is $700 and is lowered to $650. And Nikon's original price is $800 and is sold for $576.95. So for taking photos, get the Nikon especially since it is on an AMAZING deal!)
Hope that helps! :D
Seems the nikon is a bit more "beginner"
The canon video manual focus can force you to become better with focusing lenses, thereby better with a camera. Are you using kit lenses on both cams? Was the noise that far apart on the two?
I bought myself 600d and i tested both before my decision... there is a huuuuge gap between two... not only to taking pictures but more to photoshop or lightroom
I like Canon's colors better in the photographs you took. They look much more vibrant.
If U R in Indoor (/wedding) fotografy go for Nikon. It produces soft, polished images.
For Outdoor & Video, 600D have the edge over d5100. Detailing is obviously better.
I am a beginner so please don't judge me but I believe that I like the 600d is better overall than the d5100 because the video mode i think is just much better. I am considering to buy the 600d because I think there are more cheaper lens for canon. Eg L lenses.
Why? I am planning to buy one of them but I am still undecided. could you tell me why 5100 is better in your opinion? I dont care about Any movie shooting performances, I have a video camera for that.
How do they compare to the Canon Rebel T5i?
The salesclerk at our local camera shop is really pushing the Rebel as the best beginner DSLR. Been putting off the purchase for almost 3 months now. Seems every expert has a complete opposite review then the next expert.
Would love to hear your guys' thoughts.
I got the 600D, but I think it's a preference thing. I tried out both the cameras (and as someone doing it as a beginner for GCSE) although the nikon was a bit better at taking still images - more colour depth, and a general better quality, I prefered the hold and the grip on the canon. Also, I take a lot of videos, so that was a clear choice, and I found one that was very cheap. but they're both good
Still in doubt, which one should I buy? I am going to do street photography, skateboarding, levitation, long exposures, and stuff like that. Are there any features that the Canon has and the Nikon not, or the Nikon has and the Canon not? And is it possible to do double exposures with one of these or not? Thanks a lot!
so which one is a better choice for a starter in photography and who wants to capture high quality pictures?
getting the Nikon,my uncle is a proffessional photographer and he told me to go for the nikon better! :))))and between he has been using both. I've meet alot of people who buy the canon and after 3-2 years they buy the nikon,(doesn't mean Canon is bad...but..my opinion
Nikon D5100 will give u a great photographic experience if u r a beginner. Am using it for the last 3 months. Some more higher MP is not gong to affect ur photography as a beginner.I think it is more than sufficient for an amateur.
It really boils down to personal preference for most cameras (What really matters is the lens). I chose Canon for most of my cameras (I got the Canon Powershot SX40 and t3i) mainly because of the warmer feeling to the photos. Nikon to me has a cooler feeling (I had the Nikon 3100).
I am using 600D from past 2 weeks . Its really awesome.. It is a value for money product.
i was in the store and had to make that exakt choice. finally i bought the nikon. i´m pretty happy with it. i think espacially the effects are very cool when it comes to making videos (eg the selective colour and the silhouette effects are pretty cool in films). but the main problem about the nikon is, that when it comes to dark areas, the iso isn´t performing good enough in my opinion.
The d5100 had one of the worst UI's when shooting video that I've ever used. You had to lock the exposure manually so it wouldnt auto expose, changing ISO is a bitch and the menus are a mess.
I have recently got that 600D and it is really awesome, I seriously recommend it.
You first bought the camera, THEN came here to look for a review. Makes sense.
I just got the D5100, And people say the D600 is better... MP wise I know... But in detail, anyone? I find the D5100 absolutely amazing from my last camera being a Point and Shoot
Hi Kai, I'm upgrading from D3000, not sure if I should go D5100 or be brave and go D7000? Great Vid dude
Canon 600d I just Got it and IT IS AMAZING SOOOOOO GLAD I GOT IT
I love it!
Im deciding between the two, i mostly want it for making youtube video vlogs and stuff. i would take pics too, but which one would you recommend?
D5100 is good for beginners and good for the money. Personally, i wish id have gone with the canon, for better video and better color management. But honestly, theyre not far apart. i have a d5100 myself. What you should do is find a friend with one of the cameras and borrow it for a day, and see how it feels to you
No That really doesn't have anything to do with it, all mega pixels are is a unit of measurement for the resolution. I would assume the better colors are from the DIGIC 4 image processor that the t3i possesses.
At 1:38 The photo with the boat looks better with the Canon. Love the colors with the Canon.
600D for me. I've used some Nikon's aswell, and they are great! But I feel the 600D takes better video footage.
Just ordered one Nikon D5100 today :)
